The I Tomorrow Shop Employes Meet With lwo nunurea Dunon cold The second and last of the .very in teresting demonstrations in the art of dress was given this afternoon at the city auditorium by Miss Evelyn Han sen, who is here with the Ross Crane Better Homes institute. Today she discussed especially, line and suitabil ity to occasion, showing her audience how necessary it is that every woman have a knowledge of the texture of materials and their relationship to each other. The hat. gown and shoes all should bear some semblance to each other in the kind of texture. A Fine Conception of Color. "Women have a finer conception of color than they do of texture," said-i Miss Hansen, "and that is one of the most important things in gaining a well dressed look." Madame Monte sori in her kindergarten work has found a lack of knowledge of texture among the children and is remedying it by teaching them to select textures of similar kinds from out of a box with their eyes closed. This is what the women of America need, a knowl edge of what materials they should combine and what materials increase or decrease their size. j A Study Tor Every Woman. "Every woman must study herself to find out which of the three sizes she is, oversize, undersize or perfect, and realize how few of the perfect ones there are compared to the oth ers," said Miss Hansen. She empha sized the wearing of horizontal lines by the slender girl and vertical lines for the stout woman. "Not only do lines affect the figure, but materials decrease or increase the size. Satin or any materials with a sheen, light materials, such as pink, gray, blue. tan, materials with a nap, such as velvet, velour, marvella cloth, figured materials, flowered and plaid fabrics. stripes, polka dots must be barred from the stout woman's dress- vocab ulary. These materials which are not for her belong to the slender girl." An Interested Audience. An interested and amused audience listened to the lecturer's explanation of several pictures which she- drew showing the .various types of hair dress, and how a slender woman wear ing a V-shaped neck dress and her hair piled high on her head has the appearance of a typical old maid, and how the stout woman with a circular yoke, short string of beads and little biscuits of hair over her ears is noth ing but a series of circles, something which site must always avoid in dress. Plea for Physical Training. Miss Hansen made a plea lor physi cal training, telling her audience tnat the woman who is beautifully dressed must know how to walk and must have a good carriage, otherwise the effect gained by her clothes is lost. "T he average 'woman," says Miss Han sen, "unless she has an especially good carriage must have something to hold her up the corset." To be well dressed for every occa sion, Miss Hansen believes all that is absolutely necessary in one's wardrobe is a street suit, an afternoon dress and a dress for evening wear. A woman in New York, whom Miss Hansen con siders the best dressed of all women in the metropolis, buys a suit one year, an afternoon dress the next and the following year an evening dress. Thus wearing each of the three garments three years and spending the remain der of her clothes allowance on the little accessories of dress which mean so much to a woman's appearance. "The Amirican women are affected with a disease which I call decoritis," said Miss Evelyn Hansen last night during the demonstration on the art: of dress held at the high school audi torium. This was the first of the dress lectures in connection with the Better Homes institute being conducted here by Ross Crane. Miss Hansen was introduced by Crane, who made a short talk on "Art" before the speaker of the evening came on the stage. "The time has come when old lady art must come down off her. high horse and live with the common people," is an old saying, said Crane, "which is not true, for we do not want art to come down. We must get up and fly along with art." Docs Not Like race Hose. In her lecture.

Prices, Instead of Falling, Are en the Increase." New York, April 27. Warning against a possible future demoraliza tion in the newsprint market, T.'Ri. Williams, president of the American Newspaper Publishers' association,, in his address opening the thirty-fourth convention of that body today, told publishers newspaper rates should not be allowed to descend. He urged upon the newspaper pub lishers the need of co-operating with government forces in restoring world peace and bringing bus.ncss conditions back to normalcy and especially in repealing unnecessary war-time legis lation and obnoxious taxation laws. "With these fundamentals estab lished," he declared, "it w:il be with more telling .effect that newspapers can continue preaching the gospel of optimism, the restoring of confidence, th ebringing back to normalcy of our country's business. "Obviously, the accomplishment of these things forms the solution of our present newspaper problem which, boiled down to a phrase, is abnormally high cost of production." He pointed out that the average contract price of newsprint for the first six months of th s year was higher than the average contract price for all last year, and labor was at the highest point known.

The situation produced by the Ger man note was regarded as dangerous to the good feeling among the allies. Despite the French determination not to compromise their original demands in any way. officials were worried-today as to the possible course of Brit ain and Italy. They were also con cerned as to what America will do. Italy does not approve the drastic military measures proposed by the French and Great Britain is not en thusiastic over them. Briand will go to London late this week to obtain final approval from the British for a quick advance into Germany. Meantime, Briand is awaiting with) anxiety the arrival of Rene Viviani. who has Just concluded -a. visit to America. Viviani is believed to know what the Washington administration favors. Ilrinnd Ts Silent. Btiand is expected to remain silent until he has conferred with the envoy. The French military plans are com plete and the government is in posi tion to act quickly, either in ordering an advance, or in cancelling Its ar rangements. London newspaper comment reach ing here this morning contributed to the fears of the French. Officials of Santa Fe. Representatives of the signal de partment of the Santa Fe are in con sultation today with the general offi cers of the road, in response to the call for a wage conference issued thirty days ago to fourteen different classes of employes.

"The use of a small bit of color. either at the waist- line, at the neck or on the hat, I call accidental," she said, "but I have observed that instead of wearing accidentals, more women are really accidents." Never Attracts Attention. "A well dressed woman never fit tracts attention and simplicity should be the keynote of a youthful person's dress." are two statements which Miss i Hansen repeated a pa in and again thru j her talk, impressing her audience with the fact that gaudy jewelry and a f large area of color and extreme lines do not mean good dressing. "There is one man by the name of Woolworth," she told her hearers, "who knows more about women than any other man in the whole wide world, for he knows their love of gaudy jewelry." "Only women with very clear skins should wear gray, and a pink dress is oujt place on a stout woman, said Miss Hansen. "A stout woman should wear a long stemmed, slim flower, but in stead of that." spoke the lecturer, "the larger the woman, the biggei" the cor sage."

Andrew Furusuth, president of the International Seamen's Union, and other spokesmen for the workers as serted that a 15 per cent wage reduc tion declared by Rear Admiral Ben son to be necessary was unacceptable to the unions. A wage cut of hot less than 15 per cent and elimination of overtime was proposed by Admiral Benson today to seamen and ship owners who met here to adjust differences which threaten a tieup of shipping on May 1. Wants Open Shop.' At the same time. Benson declared for the open shop on American vessels, continuation of the sea service bureau which the men want eliminated, and for the strict observance of the La Follette seaman's act, which the ship ping owners are urging should be given a liberal interpretation. Benson explained that wages of sea men had been raised during the war to meet high prices. "The new economic conditions and the changes in living costs call for re- ductions in wages at least as great as the recent drop in the cost of living, which reflects the return of the dol lar toward its normal value," Benson said. Benson then recalled that last Feb ruary the shipping board and owners had invited the seamen to make vol untary wage concessions. The men made no concessions, he said. Speaking of demands for preference for union sailors on Americas vessels, Benson said: "The shipping tioard as a govern ment institution must stand for that equality in its relations to the govern ment which 1s guaranteed to every citizen by tM constitution of the United States." Must Enforce Jaw. Sneaking of the Jemands of the men or the enforcement of sections of the seamen s act, proviums mm. acwi American vessels must be able to un derstand English and that proper life saving equipment be provided, Benson said: "It is my opinion that any act of congress until definitely repealed or modified so long as it stands upon the statute books should be enforced by the department charged with such enforcement." Benson made plain that he was not basing recommendations for wage cuts on the present slump in the ship ping trade, but on changed economic conditions. Following the statement by Benson. Andrew Furuseth, head of the Sea men's union, and E. B. Griffin, head of the Stewards' and Cooks' union, spoke: Griffin threatened the ship owners. If wages are reduced. "If my wages are reduced 15 per eent, I will make it my business to see that the owners lose that J 5 per cent and more," said Griffin, adding that if other members of his union did not know how to bring this about, he would instruct them. Furuseth declared that the reduc tion, instead of 15 per cent, would ag- j gregate 40 per cent because of the, abolition of overtime.

"A city of homes seems to be Topeka's destination, and there is no finer destination." "There is a better balanced park system" in Topeka than in any town I recall. You not only have parks in the better residence districts, but you have them in the industrial dis tricts, and in all parts and for all citizens." "Topeka's trees and wide parkings are wonderful "Grace Cathedral is one of the finest churches I have seen." "Gage park is beautiful. It is cleverly laid out." "A boulevard such as the planning commission is thinking of making to follow the course of the Shunganunga and the Kaw river is vitally important to the beautifying of the city.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of COST U.S. HEAVILY Failure to Settle German Rep-, arations Upsets Business. Ex-Shipping Board Chief De clares World Accounts Messed. Chicago. April 21. Failure to settle the German reparations question Ms costing American business millions of dollars each day, E. N. Hurley, former chairman of the United States ship pins board, said todayt "This question, althoit may seem remote to us, affects every commun ity in the country," said Hurley. "Forty per cent of our steamships are tied up' in the docks; 60 per cent of the railroads are experiencing alack, times;, the United States -and the whole world is at a standstill. "Until France, Italy and Belgium know, what are their accounts receiv able and, Germany knows what are her accounts payable, the balance sheet of the world is goinfc to be up set." The peoples of the earth must "set their house in order," before business will become normal, according to Hur ley. Not only are the. big nations of Eu rope affected by the uncertainty aris ing from the failure of Germany and the allies to agree how much .Germany must pay as a war debt, but the lit-' tie fellows" have no basis for business aggression, he stated. Hurley said the farmer, disheart ened by slack markets and uncertain prices, owes his present condition to the European muddle. "If we do 65 per cent of last year's business, we should be pretty wellj satisfied," he said. r j You Save and Are Sate Trading HereK 1 Doz., 89 c Phones 289, 306, 4S3$ DRUG GIST 632 Kansas 'Avenue Remedies MINIMUM PRICES SATISFACTION GUARANTEED FREE DELIVERY SERVICE EVERSHARP PENCILS 50c The new pencil sensation, get one today.

Chicago, April The railway labor-unions fighting wage reductions before the railroad labor board in creased their estimate of alleged waste ana inefficiency, in railroad manage ment by a quarter billion dollars to day. In a supplementary exhibit to that filed last week, setting forth al leged waste of a billion dollars, the employes charge that possible savings totalling $1,276,500,000 could be ef fected by the railroads if they would introduce modern methods in mainte nance and operation. The larger American railroads spent narjy six billion dollars for operating expenses last year, the exhibit showed, carrying forty-seven billion passengers one mile and 450 billion tons of freight one mile. "It can be demonstrated that six billions is altogether too much to move the traffic in hand," the report saidr- "That failure to introduce sav ings rests primarily with railroad man agement and 4hat the public accord ingly is Tiot getting, a dollar's worth of service for the dollar it spends m rates."

Frederic 5. Uaafcin, Director. Waenlng t.u, u. C. I: Calling attention to a published itatemefrt that every jwoul warehouse In the United States is bursting with wool, with virtually no market for the ioniestio clip, and enormous impor tations of raw wool and wool tops At Kew York, Philadelphia, San Fran 'clseo and Seattle; that at Boston alono, since January 1, importations "amount? ed to 106 pillion pounds,qual to 167 million pounds of domestic 'wool, or about SO per cent of ou entire clip for the year 1920, a subscriber at Wil sey writes in to inquire why The State Journal opposes a tariff on wool. Op position to a tariff on wool is "based primarily on the prlncipre of the greatest good to thj greatest number. There are approximately 100,000,000 persons in .this country who wear wool clothing to some extent. Any. tiling planned to false the price, they must rav should be frowned upon. Another reason for opposition to an extension of tariff restrictions is that the future prosperity of this country and or the world depends upon a free ItUerchiinge of commodities. If we do not buy wa cannot sell and our pro ductive capacity was so expanded by tha demands of the war that we must veil our surplus products abroad. It rhTtNit be added that if there be the enormous accumulation of wool in this country that Is reported enactment of any measure designed to restrict- im portation would be like locking the stable door after the horse is stolen.

Numerous efforts have been made to saddle responsibility for the present business depression upon some one or two causes.

It is charged by the Railway Age that "dishonest and selfish propa ganda" is' being carried on by com mission merchants regarding the ef fect of existing freight rates upon the shipment of fruits and vegetables. It points out that the commission mer chants are carrying on a widespread agitation among the,producers of fruit and vegetables to arouseT"sentiment against the existing rates, whereas the fact is, it anys, that even since the rates were advanced the1 cost of trans porting these commodities the long distances they are carried is only one fourth to one-fifin of the toll taken bjr the commission merchant and the retailer for buying and sellirrg.them. "Whether. freight rates are, or are not, too high and should be reduced," says theAge, "ir is easy to show that it is the extortion practiced by the commission merchants and the retail dealers, rather than the present freight, rates, which are responsible for the fact that the producer pf these commodities Is being paid very low nricfrs for his nrortiipfs... while the. Vonsumer in the cities is being forced to pay high prices for them. Recent ly muchTropaganda has been spread among Jhe producers of vegetables in Texas, Florida, and other southern states, and also in "California, -Yegard-inr the bresent freight rate. It i.t Ptime that a' few. eold facts regarding these matters should be told." The Age then proceeds to set forth its facts as follows: t On .April n the avcTage price paid- "lo,theptoducer for cabbage in Texas was 1 1 per ton porting it to Chicago was 126.30 per ton. This includes not only the freight rate, but also the cost of icing the refrigerator car and the federal" tax, on freight charges. The total amount that the producer received for pro ducing it, and that the railroad re ceived for hauling It about 1,300 miles. was 1.67 cents a pound, or 33.30 a ton. On the same 'date cabbage re tailed in Chicago for 7 cents a pound, or $140 a ton, or 16.70 per ton more than the total amount that the pro ducer received for producing it, and that the railroad received for bring ing it to Chicago. Where dirt this 1 1) 70 nr ton whith xwas 75 per cent of the totafjretall pHce go to? A very large pari of It went into tne Dockets of the commission' men who are carrying on the, present propa ganda, and the rest went into tne pocket of ithe retailer. The toll tafcen by tliem was four times as much as the railroad received for hauling the cabbage from-Texas to Chicago. On the same date the- producer in Texas received J42 per ton for white onions. The cost or transportation to ChicsBo was I2S.6.4, and .the total received by the producer and the rail road was $71.64 a ton, or .B8 cents a pound. At the same time white onions sold at retail in Chicago for 19 cents a pound, or $200 a ton, or $128. S6 more than the .amount that theproducer received for producing them, and that the railroad received for bringing them to Chicago. M3st of tHis difference went into the pock ets s)f the commission merchant and thi retailer. 1 On the same date the producer 1n Texas was paid $5 a ton for spinach. The cost of f transportation to Chicago was $30.36 per ton, making a total of $35,36 per ton. or 1.77 cents a pound, that the producer and the railroad together received. At the -same time the retail price of spinach in Chicago was IS cents a pound, or $300 per ton, of $264.64 per ton more than both the producer and the railroad received. Who (rot this $264.64 per ton.' which was almost 90 per cent Of the retail price? Most of it went' to the very commission merchants who are -carrying on propaganda-against the pres ent freight rates. There may be much truth in what the Age says, "but it merely clinches the fact' that the consumer gets i coming and going. It is estimated by some that the farmers lost 50 ceots.a bushel by fol lowing the "hold your wheat" advice. But if they hadn't held the wheat they probably would have lost the 50 cents earlier in the game. Nend- of the crisis. The threat 'of a general tie-up of BritisTT industry has disappeared". The coal miners' strike is in a fair way toward settlement. Let no one mistakenly attribute th passing of this appalling crisis to the clever maneuvering of English polit ical leaders, says the Wollman Review. or the threat to suppress by force of arms an uprising of groups or classes. It was the assertion of the lnherenU common sense of "the people themrT i selves, In the face of such a catas trophe as confronted English civilisa tion, It Is the sober. Judgment of the multitude, wprklng Intuitively, that averts disaster, and not the guidance of leaders or the threats of opponents. 1 To students of history, this crisis in some ropects represents the ex treme back-Hard swing ot the pendu lum in the attempt at group agitation and class warfare.

TOPEKATATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J., HASKIJf, Director, Washinrton, D. C il. v WHO SHAJJj WALK FIRST. 'Washington, C, April 25. Should tjio" wife of a Justice of the supreme court walk in to dinner ahead of a senator's wife, or should it be the other way round? This is one of the oldest, the bit terest, tha most debated questions which perplex the great minds that govern the greatest democracy on earth. And it is one of many such questions. It is a symptom of a state of mind. For in this capital of .the country where all men have been pro claimed iuaJ' the Question of social rank and social precedence is given an importance which is-- paralleled only by the practices of some barbaric frlbes In which a violation of the order of precedence is- punished by death. Here you .are punished by social or political aealh, instead of physical, if you fail to make the proper genuflection before the reigjn-t ing princes. N i At tho beginning of a new admin istration thVe is always a degree of uncertainty and apprehension in Washington so-iety. For example, at a recent formal function here social leaders gasped with horror when Mrs' Coolidge, wife of the vice-president, entered fne room at the. right of the guest of honor whlle.Mra, Harding, wife of the. presi dent, was on the left. -A Social Crisis. Washington shivered. It feared that this radical departure from all sat rules was the signal for a social revolution. The administration was new. Its policies toward Washing ton's neretofore rockbound code of precedence were unknown. Could it be that the system worked out In In tricate detail by generations of sqcial Mrs. Harding had not mingled to any great extent in Washington ex- elusive society during her years here as the wife of the senior senator from Ohio. Her .attitude towaf-d society was in doubt. The 'new administraJ tion had been in existence but a few days. For the moment society held its breath in dreadful suspense. The few weeks that have elapsed since .that first error have relieved the minds of the social elect. Appar ently the slip was unintentional. Mrs. Harding seems of a mind to follow the social trail blazed by her predecessors. Precedence, the god before whom Washington" society bows, bas been appeased. At formal functions at the White House since then for members of the official and diplomatic set the rules-f precedence have been metio ulousIyNjbserved Social leaders,, and those seeking so cial preferment, employ experts of precedence as secretaries to warn them against breaches of Jiesacred rit ual. The government itself employs a staff of .precedence expeets to conduct informal and formal state functions according to rules. They are versed in -the rules not only of this country but of foreign capitals, and have charge of the visits of foreign rulers, and tatesmen. Moot points of order are submitted, to these government ex perts ipy society leaders in Washington and members of the official and diplo matic circles, anxious to be on the safe side. Before diplomatic wedding, for Sfi example, long consultations are held at the state department to. deter mine the extent and character of the invitation list. New points of precedence are con tinually arising and old ones are al ways in dispute. What shall the at titude of the. social elect in Washing ton be toward Mrs. Wilson, wife of a former president, the first to make his hpme, after retiring, in Washing ton? So far the continued illness of the former president has precluded any decjajon on this point, but upon his corrfplete recovery, should the for mer First Lady of the Land desire so cial recognition the point must be set tled. Mrs. Wilson's Fate. It is admitted that Mrs. Wilson. widow, of a wealthy merchant, charm ing as she was, was not of Washing ton's social elect before her marriage to Woodrow Wilson. As First Lady she took and gracefully performed the duties of her nJace.- Does, she stay up or slide back Is she primarily a mere merchant's widow or a former president's jvifeT Or is she merely herself No. that cannot be. No one isTiimself in Washington sodety. He is merely a member of a pertain class, and until- he is properly classi fied., everyone is afraid of him. The old disputebver precedence be tween the wiveJ-of members of the ftlinmma mirt 4nfl trios, nf tha TTritrf State senaters has never definitely been settled. The senatorial ladies claim that, aa their husbands confirm the appointments of the Justices, they should have first place. The wives of ther Justices believe, as their husbands form the highest tribunal of the na tion and hoidHheir positions for life. the sacred right of preceding the sena torial ladies should be theirs. At pres ent theyeem somewhat to have the better of the argument and 'usually enter dining rooms -first and sit at the right hand) of the host provided, of course, the wife of the president, the wife of .the vice president and the wives, of the cabinet officers are not STiT" ;o takes precedence over every other wo man present. Even visiting royalty yields hr firet place. The vice presi dent's spouse comes next and the wives of the cabinet secretaries follow in their logloal"-order. The cabinet ladles frequently yield third honors to wives of ambassadors, but their right to follow the -vice president's wife is admitted. In the diplomatic set the order of precedence is undisputed. Madame Jusserand, wife of the dean of the diplomatic corps. Ambassador Jules Jusserand of France, is always ac corded first place. As a matter of fact the real dean' of the eorps is the mlnisterof Portugal, Viscount d'Alte, but as he Is only a minister and Jus serand is an ambassador, he does not hold the title. Viscount d'AH- is a bachelor. There la no lady to" dispute the matter cf his right of precedence with Madame Jusserand, so the ques tion remains HI abeyance. Precedence in the diplomatic corps is comparatively easy to determine as it is based on the length of service tn Washington of the chief of the mis sion In question. Hence the ambassa dor of Great Britain, at present Sir Auckland Geddes, .yields to the am bassadors of. Chile and Argentina and a number of otheav countries of much less world Importance than England. The Worship of precedence Is rigidly observed in the official and diplomatic circles and even in" the old. residential set is regarded with a certain amount of reverence. The latter, however, does not condescend to mingle with such ef the official set .as ite regards unfit for association with therh. "The cave-dwellers, as Mark Twain dubbed the old-time Washlngtonians, believe themselves the sUDeriora from the rarefied atmosphere in which they breaette. To them the First Lady of the Land is such in a "Pickwickian" sense only and while they admit her' right of precedence officially, privately they fail to. observe it. The "cave dwellers" have their resi dence, as a rule, in old Georgetown and their attitude toward the -new Washington is best expressed in a movement1 once inaugurated to have Washington termed East Georgetown. It is to the select circles of the old residents that the majority of- the socially ambitious in the capital looK longingly. It is the hardest to break into and kence the most desirable. Here, again, the question of prece dence enters, the more confusing in that it is based on tradition and -his- -tory- rather than diplomatic or of ficial standing. Outside of official classes, prece dence becomes an esoteric science in deed. Just why Mrs. So-and-So t9kes precedence over Mrs. Somebody-else Is difficult to state.-- But she does, afid woe betide the unlucky hostess who fails to accord her her admitted privlT leges.

He waited while she found a olace in the elevator along with a crowd of several women, some old, some young, some with pale faces, some with coun tenances well reddened, some dresRed neatly, others drssed shabbily, and a scattering of men. some with their hats off. others with them on.

The Yanks are beginning to get razzed on the Polo grounds. Miller Huggins has perhaps the big gest combination of talent in the ma jor league but it lacks that class es sential for a championship club. Yesterday's game gives a good il lustration of that thing known as class.

The Yanks go along thinking, apparently, there is plenty of time to get started. Monday afternoon- the Tanks were invincible for seven innings. Carl Mays didn't allow a hit in that time. Then the whole works blew and Washington won the game. HAS threeWery shifts Tris Speaker Able to Meet Any Strategy L'sed Against Cleveland. Cleveland, April 27. Tris Speaker, manager of the world's champion Cleveland Indians, can use three shifts of batters to overcome the strategy of opposing managers who desire to switch their pitchers to make Speaker change his lineup. This was demon strated yesterday when the Indians' manager set a new American league record by using twenty-three players in the game with Detroit. When Manager Ty Cobb warmed up Bert Cote, lefthanded pitcher. Speaker figured Cobb planned to switch his hill pretty fast, as a man is bound to do when his stomach gets wrong. I had no appetite to speak of and what little I did eat seemed to do me more harm then good. I got to where I couldn't sleep well and in the morn ings t was so tired out I could hardly force myself to go to work. I had awful headaches and the noise at the bolt and nut plant whore I work would almost drive me wild at times. "Tanlac is certainly a world beater. It took hold of me right from the start, gave me an appetite and toned up my stomach so everything agrees with me. I haven't felt as well as I do now for years. Why. I've got as much energy as a hoy and I feel as strong as an ox. Tanlac certainly did the work for me." Adv. TodayContinuing the Balance Adapted from the novel of STEWART EDWARD WHITE lTtinc. S:00 T.

Speaker thereupon sent Ernest Jeanes and Louis Guisto, right handed batters to right field, and first base, respectively, and Jackson Graney to left. Later he replaced Jeanes, Guisto and Graney with Wood. Burns and Evans, all righthanders. When Ehmke, righthander, relieved Cole on the mound. Speaker sent Smith to right field and Johnston to first base, and used Jamieson, who had been playing left field when a righthanded pitcher worked for the opposition as a pinch hitter. The only men In uniform whom Speaker did not use in yesterday's game were Pitchers Coveleskie. Mails and Hoyt and Infielder Wagner. Speaker, Stephenson, Sewell and Gard ner were the only Indians to play thruout the game.

"l'l. suppose all of you students have been given instructions to never 'color' your news. In other words, to write a straight news story from an un biased and unprejudiced standpoint. That is not the policy of the lar and Times. During the fifteen years I have been in Topeka as representative of the paper, I have never missed minute of fighting, either with some corporations or with public officials. Furthermore, William R. Nelson al ways had a policy of taking either one side or another of every fight never remaining neutral. The policy of the paper is clearly defined on this, and the news columns as well as the edi torials are used to promote our inter ests. That policy of Nelson, who is now dead, is still enforced. The news columns of the Star and Times are always used to promote our side of the fight, if it be with a corporation or some organization that lives from the public or with a public officer."

GET PAY FOR BRIDGE WORK Nino Conor t-ns Oct Judgments Total- Ins $12,429.51, Judgments totaling $12,429.61 were rendered in favor of nine -concerns, several ofthem local, which furnished materials for the building of the new concrete bridge over Soldier creek on Kansas avenue, by Judge James Mc Clure in the district court. The Leavenworth Bridge -company contracted to build the bridge for $25, 800. Before the work was under way the war broke out and material prices soared. However, the work was com pleted, al4M the bridge company bor rowed heavily from the Leavenworth National bank to complete the work. A balance of $10,000 due the bridge company, and held by the Shawnee county commissioners, was assigned to the 'Leavenworth bank by the bridge company. The Lion Bonding com pany, of Lincoln, Neb., as surety, then brought a suit to -compel the bridge company to return the money to Shaw nee eourfty and have it pro-rated among the material men. Judge McClure granted this request and the bank, to which the company owed about $9,000. was left "out in the cold." Judge McClure held that the material men had a prior claim to tho money. The judgments were as follows Kil mer Hughes, $1,652.87; Kansas City Bolt and Nut company, $713.86: W. A. L. Thompson Hardware company. $236.73; Topeka Sand company, $308.85; C. C.

Lee's staff at Gettysburg; and which, since, be sides its quality of romance, is illus trative of the gentleness of Grant's character, I believe is worth space in public print, especially since this is the great commander's birthday. The Confederate officer was General Harry Heth of the Confederate army of Vir ginia, who had served under General Lee since the inception of the Civil war, and Judge Reeder, then a young lawyer at Hays City, fell in with him, one day in the smoking room of a Pullman car of a Union Pacific train crossing Kansas. Tile two had had no previous acquaintance, but they easily fell into conversation. Watch Causes Confederacy To Fall. The conversation was begun by General Heth, who had just taken note of the time of day from a gold watch he carried. "By that watch the Southern Confederacy fell," he re marked. "Tell-me about jt," replied Judge Reeder. "Well it is a simple tale briefly told. It was at Gettysburg under Lee, and it became my duty by an order of our chief of ordnance to signal our ar tillery to begin the battle of Gettys burg, and at an appointed hour by this watch, the first shot was fired from a Confederae battery. This battle we lost, and by losing it the beginning of the end was on, and the Confederacy finally feJL" Knew Grant Before War. Continuing, General Heth, after say ing that- he had- belonged td the "old army," and had soldiered across the Kansas plains before the Civil war, said: "I knew Grant before the Civil war and served with him in tHe" Mexi can war. He' and I and General were in the same brigade, and altho we were not in the same mess with him we saw much of him and liked him. After the Mexican Wat, Grant passed out of our lives, and then we heard he had resigned from the army." General Heth told Judge Reeder his comrade's name, but the judge had forgotten it. But he remembered that General Heth had said that General had-served with Lee in the Army of Virginia, and that he and General Heth continued to be comrades until the surrender ot Appomattox, and neighbors after they had returned to civil life. Uj Began to Hear of Grant. Continuing his narrative. General Heth said: "Well, time ran akng, and the 'war between the states' came on. General and I, both of us line officers then, joined the Confed eracy. Soon we began, to hear of a General Grant on the federal side In Tennessee. We had forgotten our for mer comrade's Christian name, and, besides, since we knew that our Grant had resigned from the 'old army," the thought that he might be the same never occurred to our minds. Finally, this man Grant took Vicksburg, and next he was engaging the Confederate army elsewhere in that part of the country. 'Wonder Who he is?' w:e would say to each other. After awhile this same General Grant was at .the head of the Army of the Potomac confronting us. Still wre wondered who he was. "Finally came the surrender at Ap pomattox and the fall of our beloved Confederacy. The Confederate of ficers, summoned by General Grant, assembled for parole. 'Now we will see.' I paid to General while we waited our turn In front of General Grant's headquarters. Soon our names were called, and we entered Grant's tent. 'By George, it is our Grant, the same Grant we knew in Mexico,' Gen eral said to me. "And sure enough, it was. Grant looked, up and just the shadow of a smile crossed his face. We approached to sign our mimes, but he gave no sign of recognition. We were strangers to him, apparently. Neighbors in Virginia. "Having signed and been given cer tificates of liberty, we departed from the tent, and began at once making preparations to return to our respec tive plantations; we were neighbors in Virginia. For April was now well advanced and We wanted to put in our tobacco. We had no money, and our clothes were rags; so it was work or starve, and we both had families. In the midst of our preparations and full of the joyful anticipation of soon join ing our families, we received 'an order signed by General Grant to report at his headquarters at 9 o'clock the next morning. Imagine our disappoint ment at the unexpected delay! What did he want "with us? Why single us out? In vain we sought influence for an annulment of th order. However, such was the order, and wait on the pleasure of our captor we must. Given Fall Uniform. "Accordingly, we appeared before General Grant at the appointed hour. Dismissing other officers and order lies from his presence, he rose to re ceive us, and, with a smile full f friendship,- he took each of us by the hand, and said, 'Well, old friends, for you this is a, sad reunion, but it is the fortune of war. I sent for you that I might tell you that the gratitude of old friendship is strong within my breast for my comrades of the "old army," whether now they be of the North or of the South., However, this is no time for a visit, and I have only to say now that we happen to have in our possession quite a large quantity of brand new Confederate uniforms and other supplies, and Ivam giving you an order on our commissary for a full equipment of whatever you may need; for it is plain to see that you are pretty close run for clothes, that you need everything from the skin out, head to foot. Go and outfit your selves. You will find razors as well. So make ready for a happy return home. At the door of the commis sary's tent you will find a Confederate ambulance and four mules, a negro boy on the box to drive. Take the whole outfit and go home, begin life anew. And, my friends, you need not return the ambulance, the mules, or the boy. They are yours.' "Well, sir, we obeyed the new order with joy, and when we came out of the commissary's tent, we were resplendent- in new Confederate uni forms, and found the ambulance, the mules, and the boy waiting for us." A. Story of Historic Interest. Judge Reeder said, in conclusion, that probably the gif of the ambu lance and mules was a stretch of Gen eral Heth's imagination; that possi bly even the uniforms were not so new. and resplendent as the Confed erate officers said; but he had nar rated the story as he had received it from General Heth, and he thought, that even without-these minorTetails, the story was of historic interest. For he had every reason to believe that General Heth was not a man who would be guilty of falsehood of the whole cloth for the purpose of exploit ing himself. 'j. Judge Reeder's narrative interested me so much that I wrote an abstract of it to Senator Curtis, asking him to call on the war department for identification of General Heth. and he replied that there was a General Harry Heth on General Lee's staff.

"Why Prohibition Didn't Prohibit in Kansas" will be the title of a book which Mrs. Myra McHenry will write this summer while visiting in St. Louis with friends. Mrs. McHenrv visited The State Journal office this arter noon for a friendly little chat with the boys, and this secret was divulged dur ing the visit. T have been at this work twenty one years," said Mrs. McHenry, "and if I am going to tell the world how conditions were when I first started, it is high time T was Betting busy." After several testimonials had been offered by State .Journal. reporters to the effect that Kansas was "dbmplete ly and absolutely dry," Myra told them that she was not alluding to present Gay condition but to conditional, yvvLiB ago. "After being arrested forty-four times in Kansas and twenty-five of those times in Wichita, I finally got mv case into the police court," said Mrs. McHenry. "There I was tried and dismissed em the unconstitution ality of the city ordinance. They had several charges against me, among them speaking without permit, and blocking the sidewalk and disturbing the peace. I plead guilty to all the charges, but the cases were thrown out of court, and the city had to pay the costs." "Well, Mrs. McHenry, how old are you, anyway? You've been in this game a long while," asked a perti nent news chaser. "Well, young man," flashed back Mrs. McHenry, "I'm old enough to have sense enough not to tell. I've been the mother of seven children, however." She will leave Topeka tomorrow for St, Louis, where she will spend the summer months. UNITED STATES (Contlnned from Page One.) PENSY K.

The Chamber of Commerce of the United States is working to establish the "open shop" In American Industry. Joseph H.

Defrees denied the chamber is seek ing to destroy labor unions as claijned by the American Federation of Labor. Praises Kansas) Conn. Iwfrees declared for reduction of railway workers; approved the pro posal fur legislation to force arbitra tion of industrial disputes; praised the Kansas industrial court as "an inter esting experiment," and hinted that the country's business men may want to abandon the principle of a protec tive tariff. Development of American foreign trade may be hampered by too high a tariff, which, would cause other na tions to discriminate .against us, he said. According to Defrees. high freight rales are mainly responsible for the economic depression, but it must yet be determined whether the rates can be lowered. Kxports Cut In HaJf. "VVithin five months, America's ex port trade has been cut nearly in half." President John McHugh of the Mechanics' and Metals National bank of New York, declared in an address l fore the chamber. He said long term credits to foreign buyers is the only way to solve the problem. There is ciose relationship, he said, rrftv.een the slump in" foreign trade and unemployment of labor here, "variously estimated to involve from .t.i'00.000 to 5.000,000 able bodied men."

GOOD CROP WEATHER Abundant Moisture and Sunshine Ihirlng Last Week Were Great Aid to Kansas Wheat Corn Planting Is Delayed Two Weeks. By S. D. Flora, Meteorologist. Abundant moisture, mild tempera tures and sunshine made this a splen did crop growing week In Kansas, ac cording to the reports of correspon dents of the weather bureau in the different counties of the state. High wings Wtw on several days, but -re-sufd In no serious damage. Soak fng rains fell in the eastern third and some of the central counties, while the remainder of the state was gen erally well supplied with moisture from the preceding week. f Wheat is reported as in good con dition and now making a satisfactory development, except some of the ex treme southeast counties, where the ground is too wet, and some important producing counties in the central por tion, such as Rice. Ellsworth and Sa line, where it had been rather badly damaged by the freeze 10 days ago and prolonged dry weather, which have been only partially alleviated. Corn planting is In many localities two weeks behind the season, but has now begun -over the southern third and in some of the central counties as far north as Salina and .Manhattan. In the southeast portion ef the state where, ordinarily, it would be com pleted by, this time, it was again de layed this week by heavy rains on the 21st. Preparation of the ground Is, as a rule, well under way in all parts and a few warm, drying days will see planters at work in all parts of the state. Only a few of the extreme southern counties report any corn up yet. Barley was badly frozen ten days aeo but in the northwest section, wher3 the bulk of the crap is grown, it is beginning to grow slowly. Alfalfa is suffering greatly from ravages of a species of green bugs In the eastern and central counties and the condition of the first crop is any thing but satisfactory- Potatoes are coming up all over tne eastern half of the state and looking good, excepting th-3 southeast coun ties, where they were advanced enough to get frozen back about ten days ago. The advent of warm weather this week developed the fact that apple buds surviving the Easter freeze have nearlv all succumbed to the freeze of the 16th and 17th, which greatly dam aged other tree fruit. Strawberries were also injured, but not seriously. LEGION READY FOR SHOW Members of Cast Hold Final Re hearsal for May May 2 and S.

Steel Shlold To Be Vsod In Attacking Bandit Strongholds. Chicago. April 27. A bullet proof shield similar to the ones used by ancient warriors in besieging' walled cities, was delivered to the police de partment here today. It is for use in protecting officers while attacking criminals who have barricaded themselves in houses. The screen is constructed so as to fold lengthwise-, forming a V-shaped pro tector. It has a small shuttered win dow and loopholes for revolvers or rifles. The shield completes the besieging outfit of the police, which includes gas bombs, grenades and heavy rifles. A CITY OF BEAUTY Ross Crane Sees Wonderful Possibilities for Topeka. Less to Undo Here Than In Any Town He Has Visited. "BLOW UP THE CITY PRISON" It Is Russia Nothing Conld Be Worse, Crane Says. Boulevard System of Planning Body Is Approved. All parts of Topeka. good and had, attractive and sordid, were visited by the members of the city planning: com mission this morning, with Ross Cran. apostle of better homes and ex pert"' city planner, from Chicago, as special guest of the commission. The planning board members rode about the city for three hours to get a com prehensive vision of the city's needs as they might be supplied thru the func tioning of the city planning board. "Topeka is a beautiful city in many ways," Crane saiij. "In many respects it is not attractive. But it has less to undo to make it beautiful than almost anywhef e I have been." A large part of his comment on the city was favor able, but a few times his remarks were caustic. When the motoring party concluded its trip by visiting the city jail. Crane said: Renovate Jail With Dynamite. "This place should be renovated with dynamite. It is Russia. ;o Bol shevik conditons could Be worse." The squalid "bull pen" at the jail, the dirty and battered police court room provoked the comment from the visitor, as well as similar remarks from members of tha planning com mission. Holding up" the battered, backless, paintless chair used for the witness stand. Crane said: "A photograph of this should be taken as proof of the need of better furniture in. Topeka." "The first stop on the party's trip was at the bridge over -the Shunga nunga at Lake street. "This ia-the first place where citi zens have been willing to show me the less attractive part of their city first," Crane said. F"avors the Boulevard. While they were at that point. Crane became enthusiastic over the planning board's idea of making a boulevard to follow the Shunganunga ana encircle the city. "There are marvelous possibilities in such a project," he said. "You have every natural advantage in making such a boulevard. Both as a civic beautifying and as an economic de velopment, such a boulevard would have much value." "The planning commission believes that such a boulevard could be made into a beauty spot and at the same time protect the people of the creek district from the overflow," Robert Pierce, president of the commission,' told Crane. The course of such a boulevard would be from the Kansas avenue bridge over the Kaw, following the river bank to Martin's hill, theai to the East Side, following the Shunga nunga to the Sardou bridge thru to North Topeka. It is one of the most discussed of the proposed projects of the commission. Adopt the "Topeka- Flan." The "Topeka plan" came in for much discussion on the motor trip. Such a plan probably will be made By engineers authorised to do so by the planning commission. It will be a de tailed drawing, not of actual condi tions, but of ideal conditions for To peka, and the endeavor of the plan ning commission would be to make the city comply with such specifica tions, by both "doing and undoing." in the language of Ross Crane. The planning commission will not proceed with any project before such a plan is made. "The boulevard along the Shunga nunga would be one of the most im portant parts of the 'Topeka plan'," Mayor Corwine said. "It has been a pet idea of the city planning board since its organization." Fine Park System. High compliments came from Crane. When he rode thru Topeka's parks. "You par& system seems better balanced than in any city I have vis ited," he says. "Almost every part of tho city has a park. It is interesting that they are so well scattered and so accessible. Often parks are confined to the better residence districts or to the suburbs. "Tnis is beautiful!" exclaimed the Chicago iirtist-architect as the party rode thru Gage park. H admired the landscaping of the park, saying that it was "cleverly laid out." "Great!" he said, when his attention was called to the camping ground be ing provided on the edge of the park. "Camping grounds in city parks are an interesting new development that not many cities have reached." As the party went thru Potwin and other of the attractive residence dis tricts. Crane said: A City of Homes. "Topeka seems destined to be a city of homes, and there can be no finer destination." He praised the many fine trees and the wide parkings in the city. He admired Christ's hospital and its grounds, and said that Grace cathedral was one of the finest churches he had seen. Ripiey park won much favorable comment. Crane said it was so im portant to have such a park in the industrial district. "I have seen nothing better for the purpose than Ripley park," he said. It shows enlightened management n establishing city parks." Tell of Topeka Friday. Crane's trip this morning with the planning commission was preliminary to the address he will give on Fridayj evening at the city auditorium, tne last of his series of the "Better Homes A true hair grower Sworn proof f hair growth after bald ness. A mating reports of legions of nsers of KotalkOi in stopping Joss of bair, over coming dandruff, conqnaiog baldness. Here's the forest offer in the world use Kotalko. If it doesn't do all yon expect, get toot mowey-backl Forget past bad luck with your hair. This is something different. Get a small box of KOTALKO at anr busy draggist's. Guarantee and directions with the box. Snow your frieads this athtrtimmuimU Institute." His subject will be -Dollars and Sense for Your Town or How to Make Your Town the Best in tha State in Which to Bring Up a Child." .In the lecture Crane will mince no words in telling what he thinks of To peka. It is likely that the address will contain much, praise for the city, but it is also probable that there will bo much adverse criticism. "I am not yet certain what Topeka needs most." he said. "A new Jail is one thing. Zoning into districts is an other much needed arrangement. I find that Topeka has much less to undo, however, than many other cities in the city planning projects." HERE IS ANEW PUN Help Washburn Build Theater That Will Seat 10,000 Persons. Editor State tlournal: .Every little while the question o. a bigger auditorium come up. and like Banquo's ghost, will not down. Nine times out of ten the present one is big enough, but the tenth time it is far too small, as we have several times lately witnessed. Probably if the question of building a new one is sub mitted to the people they will vote it down, as they have in the past. Here is suggestion that may or may not be good: Washburn college has among its plans for a bigger and more efficient institution the building of a Greek theater on its campus that will seat from 10.000 to 20.000 people, but has only partly enough money to erect it. Without doubt they would welcome some financial help from To peka towards its erection, and when it is completed no doubt they would be glad to let the city or any big gath erings use it. Why not start a move ment to put it across and thus help ourselves? This is Topeka's college and I have not heard lately of To peka breaking many of her speed laws in an effort to help this most worthy institution. As to getting out there and back, it costs no more than it does to get to Eighth and Quincy streets, and no doubt in the case of big crowds the street car company would be on the job to take the people back and forth. Of course, when the rain is falling a Greek theater is not the best place to hold meetings, but in that case the present auditorium would be large enough to hold all who wished to at tend. M. C. STEVENS. A BUSY SOCIAL SEASON Members of Topeka Pres Club Plan Many Entertainments. Topeka Press club members are simply getting dizzy with social re sponsibilities. They are to be guests of Governor and Mrs. Henry J.Allen at a party next Tuesday night. The party is one of those rare state Occa sions when the bars are down for wives and sweethearts and ciub mem bers wear church clothes, polished shoes and correspondence college man ners. Sometime next month the Press club plays host to the Kansas Uni versity chapter of the Sigma Chi Delta, as well as members of the Washburn college school of journalism males only. Prospective newspaper men from the two schools will be guests of the club at a dinner and .will be permitted to participate in any gen eral entertainment features later. The Press club members will put the state university journalism class on the as signment books for day and the stu dents will cover the city runs with staff members of the Topeka papers. Special committees are in charge of the narty at Governor Allen's home andthe reception for members of the Journalism classes. Plans for meeting social responsibilities of the month were solemnly discussed when the club met at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night in monthly tournament. CHURCH MEMBERSHIP PLAN City Wido Inter-Church Campaign Will Be Considered by Ministers. At its next meeting, the Topeka Ministerial Union will be asked to con sider plans for a city-wide, lnter church membership campaign, de signed to get as many Topekans into the churches as possible. The campaign, ft is suggested, should follow the general plan of the recent drive foran increased member ship of the Chamber of Commerce. The movement, if it is carried out, will be organized cn strictly scientific and efficient lines, and its object will be primarily the classification of the cit izens of Topeka as to church mem bership, leaving It to the church or ganisations themselves to enlist the people who have declared their pref erence for each denomination. The plan has been proposed by Ros coe C. Ellis, organizer and a leader In campaigns of all sorts, who has taken a prominent part in the Chamber of Commerce membership drive. Ellis beperes that the church-going and churcl membership phase of civic life is as important in the general welfare of the city as good schools or a pood chamber of commerce. "It will, make Topeka a better city and will make for a bigger and clean er civic growth in the future," Ellis said, in discussing the plan. SEAMAN TEACHERS TO MEET Final Conference ot Instructors Will Be Held Saturday. The final teachers' meeting will be held Saturday at Seaman high school, beginning at 10:30 o'clock in the morning. Miss L. E. Wooster. state superinten dent of education, will give an address in the morning and Miss Ella Thrash er, of Berryton, will sing.

After luncheon Miss M'Edna Cor bet, former county superintendent will tell of her experience as a Red Cross worker in Europe. A movie pic ture will be shown and the orchestra and glee club of Seaman will furnish music. An athletic meet will be held at Garfield park after the close of the program at the school house. E. A.

St. Marys, Kan., April 27. The ex tension work done by St. Mary's col lege. Sr. Marys. Kan,, during the sum mer months under the name of Lay men's Retreats, is now being organ ized. As in other years, there will be four sessions provided for: the first, intended exclusively for Knights of Columbus, will be held July 9. JO, H; tne second is set aside chiefly for mer chants, clerks and workmen who can not get away from their occupations on Saturday, and therefore Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. July 2. 25, 2 are the dates chosen for them. The two retreats in August are fixed for August 20, 21. 22. and for August 27, 28, 29, dates falling on Saturday, Sun day and Monday. These days of the week have been selected for most of the retreats held in the past ten years, because the Sat urday half-holiday and the whole of Sunday can be given to the retreat, thus taking away only a day and a half from regular business. The an nouncement of dates is made thus early so that proper arrangement can be made for vacations. Many who in the past have attended the retreats spend part of their vacation time at the college going thru the work pre scribed for the three days intensive course in soul-training. The movement started at St. Mary's college for men is spreading among the women. Owing to an increasing demand, the Sisters' academy at Lea venworth is offering two retreats for women to be herd June 10, 11. 12, and June 17, 18, 19. At Paola likewise a retreat for women will be given in the Ursuline academy June 26, 27,' 28. As the purpose is the same for women as for men, namely, to apply Christ's principles to daily life in the twentieth century, the method and the exercises followed are "Very nearly the same. Last year's attendance at St. Mary's was the largest since the beginning of this work thirteen years ago. Dur ing these years there has been a total enrollment of 2,711. The number of inquiries so far received promises a larger attendance than ever this sum mer, according to the director. Rev. Adolph J. Kuhlman. S. 3.

(Written for the Cnlted Press.) New Tork. April 27. Germany's reparations offer to the allies is a de ceptive effort to create an impression that the allies' terms have been sub stantially met. As a matter of fact, Germany has camouflaged her offer in such a way that if it were accepted, the allies would probably receive less than one half of their demands. By a piece of suggestive propa ganda. Germany has created the im pression that she has offered to pay the allies two hundred billion gold marks, or fifty billion dollars, tier many has done nothing of the kind. By a complicated reference to interest payments, the Germans have created an entirely: false impression in the matter. Germany's offer, stripped, of decep tive phrases, is that she will pay the allies 60.000.000.000 gold marks, which is twelve and a half billion dol lars. Germany will pay one billion marks immediately. She also will raise foreign and domestic loans at once and will hand the proceeds over to the allies. Germany promises to make the domestic loan a big success and she will surely bring great pres sure to bear on all Germans abroad to subscribe heavily to the foreign loan. It would cause no surprise if by these processes. Germany could pay to the allies 25.000.000,000 marks as soon as the loans were completed. That would leave 2S.000.00O.O00 marks more to be paid over a future term of years, with interest rate added, which Germany suggests shall be 4 per cent Tho final 46.000,000,000 marks would be paid probably with sufficient rapid ity so as not to make the interest charges in the aggregate more than equal the principal. That is to say, the total interest charge Germany -would pay the allies might easily not be more than 25,000.000,000 marks. This would make the indemnity re ceived by the allies 60.000,000,000 marks in principal and 25.000,000,000 in interest. The total would be 75, 000.000,000 marks, or less than 40 per cent of the allies's demand. WABHBCRN TOPIiAYy BAKER. Close Contest Expected at Baldwin This Afternoon. Coach Dwight T.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and en tirely greaseless), is much better than anything els.i yow can use for sham pooing, as this can't possibly injure tne nair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoons ful of Mulsified will make an abun dance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp, thoroly. The lather rinses out easily and re moves every particle of dust, dirt. dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store.

Havft you harfany trouble in find ing a. liouee to live in? Well, there's a house shortage in bird land, too. The 1 bird landlords have raised the rent until it is no longer possible for a bird in moderate circumstances to find a home in a decent tree. The fa v vorite bough in the" eld aiple tree, which formerly could be rented -all summpf for a dozen angle worms and included a nice long braeh to hop around on, now brings five angle worms a month. And there are pres-r peers that it w.ill bring still mve next summer. Therefore the Kansas Free Fair as sorfetion has decided to encourage the building' of bird houses by Kansas boys and is offerings ten prizes for the rtt bird houses exhibited at the Fre Fair next fall. Only boys under 18 years old are eligible. Entries must be made in writing to Secretary Phil Kastman before September 5. Those who cannot be present may send their bird houses by mail. In building bird houses the comfort end the habits of the future tenants must be considered. Birds do not like newly built houses. Neither do they litee1 houses that are constructed of metal! The heat of summer causes the paint to throw off an odor and metal becomes hot and uncomfortable to the birds. Stain soaks into the wood and is not offensive. Prepared M-oofing must not be used in the con struction of a house as it also becomes too hot and is distasteful to the birds. Houses shoflld be made so that they ran be readily cleaned in the fall after the birds have gone south. This can be accomplished by providing for the hinging of one side of the roof or of rhe floor. Tfce proper time to put up bird houses is in the fall so that they will be in pare for the birds in the Iring. The winter will take off the newness, of the houses and make them more acceptable to the birds. Houses entered in this contest must wot be over eighteen inches square nor more than thirty inches hish. Bird heuse doors must be placed at? the proper, distance above the floor and rt the proper size er diameter to fit the bird fer which the house is in- CLAIM THEY ARE SMALLEST UVING PARENTS v 1 s As the Newlyweds this couple is one of the features of the C T.

"This organization means that there are eighteen Topeka families which are being looked after, which were not looked, after in the business scheme of the city six months ago, Badders said.

Jest As ItWu AiTfie Theater Took a walk down Qutncy street last night and It took me nearly, three hours to go four blocks. Not usually such a alow walker, but ia this instance there was so much to delay me en route both on and at the sides of the street that I consider it a perfect alibi. Honest folks, except for fair time, never did see such a jam in this burg. Could not reach my watch, but bet it took m fifteen tninutes to proceed .as many feet at one time because of the mass of humans Hbat got in my way. Those Woodmen who brought the Con -T. Kennedy shows here should clean up enough this week to buy themselves sev eral changes of uniforms and what ever else they are putting on their stunt to get. Also and at the same time, Mr. Keunedy should have a nice wad to carry him thru any rainy weather that he may meet fur ther on iu the season. It's been a kng time since such a clean, appearing outfit ha put up irsv tents here. Why, there is one show that 1s still being put together for the first time. It is the water show, that is scheduled to open its doors for the first time here the latter part of the week. Except for the ferris wheel and the mprry -go-round the old stand-bys, the riding 'devices are out of the ordinarv, making quite a flash. The way they were being patronized last night would indicate that Topekans have not lost their desire to pay for being jossled, jammed and tum bled about. The feature of the whole show of conrpe there will ba a gang to contradict this in Bluey-Bluey, a reat comedian who has made Topeka about sixteen to. eighteen times with one show or another. He must make good cash as a show attraction or be would have been cleaning up on the Vaudeville circuits long ago. Next in line of prominence is the Bagdad show, lu the early daysvof carnivals this was called the 'Girl Show" and the "Men Only' sign was up. These days there ntn't no such thing and last night the tent was" half filled with women who got just as much out of the aluvvers and wriggles as the men used to. ''How tempus has fugited." There's a wrestling champ show with Billy Kdwards taking on all comers; a wild west show that has alf the stuff usual ly attributed to our western cow punchers; a whole aggregation of -freaks, including the Royal Midgets and the mountainous giant, Captain Eugene Andreas, with all sorts of illusion shows, etcetera, etcetera. Last but not least cornea the Biff Bang Minstrels, a colored troupe, that stages one of the best short program minstrelsy acts delivered at our door for a long time. But it la the concessions that, make anv carnival a real joyous affair and those at this attraction are dressed op just what 1 mean, dressed up. Why honest folks they have used hundreds of yards Tt velvet giving .this part of the show class. The prizes and souvenirs offered are high class also. Came borne to the fran last night earring an eight pound basa and a heavy Navajo blanket No, I refuse to tell what they cost me, but I am satisfied. ATTENTION, KToF P.

One of the biggest figure jobs in your business in any businessis just this kind of calculating. It never shows on the books except in total and results, but it has to be done, and it costs money. Extending pay rolls and cost sheets and invoices, figuring percentages and single or chain discounts, require pages and pages of figures (when done with pen or pencil) and hours and hours of labor just -to get the answers which are to be entered.

A motion was made and passed that Mayor Corwine be asked to declare the first week in August, beginning YrednesdA-v. Chautautiua. week for the rity of Topeka, as it was believed by members of the Civic club that in this ivay the notice of the people would be called to the Chautauqua series. C. M. Morrow, principal of Orant and Quincy schools, asked that the North Topeka Civic club join with the Parent-Teachers' association in asking the school board for additional play grounds for Quincy school. The school now numbers over 600 pupils and the play grounds are so crowded that Mr. Morrow has found it necessary to have different recess periods to allowr the children room for needed exercise. But before school in the mornings and at noon the grounds are too crowded for games. The school board owns ground back of the school, facing Kan sas avenue, and the Kaw Valley In vestment -company has bought the lot and a half adjoining. It is the inten tion of .the investment company to put up a modern bungalow on this loca tion, but believing the school needs this ground for additional play grounds, has offered to sell to jthe school board. A committee, consisting of Tt. R. Baer. Vv It. Parkhurst, Mrs. Frank Conwell and Mrs. C M. Morrow, was appointed by the Parent-Teachers as sociation.Monday evening to place the matter Itefoe the school board at its meeting wxt Monday evening, and a committee; from the Civic club, V. H. Thomas, J. Snediker, J. D. Pratt, Mrs. J. IX Pratt and Mrs. H. A. French were appointed to work with the com mittee. Notes and Personal. Mrs. J. D. Pratt was the fiostrss for GUT PRICES!

KING, City Passenger Agent Topeka SHE LOVED HER SO Chicago Girl Kills Woman Who Scorned Her. Then She Turned the Weapon Upon Herself. RESULT OF LONG QUARREL Tragedy Was Staged in Full View of Hundreds. Slayer Had Pursued Victim With Candy and Flowers., Chicago, April 27. Jeanette Hoy, daughter of a well known contractor. today fired two bullets into the body of Catherine Davis and then turned the gun on herself. The tragedy was the result of a quarrel between the girla who have been close friends for several years. Physicians said that both were near death. Tragedy Caused Panic. The shooting took place on an ele vated platform at Madison and Wa bash, in the heart of the looo. and threw hundreds of persons, hurrying to work, into panic. Miss Davis, a bookkeeper, had lust left a train on her way to work. Miss Hoy, hiding behind a post, pulled a revolver from her handbag and fired. The bullets entered Miss Davis's side. The girl with the pistol held the crowd at bay and rushed down the tairs to the street. In the rear of a building in which Miss Davis worked, Miss Hoy fired three shots into her own body. Police said that Miss Davis received letter from Miss Hoy recently en closing a bullet. The letter, in part, said: 'I love you very much and I am so sorry that we had a quarrel. I do not understand why you will no longer see me. "I'm lonesome without you. I want to patch things up. xou probably don't understand how a girl could love another girl as I do you." Were Together Constantly. Alice Davis, sister of the girl who was shot, said: "1 can't understand it the two girls were together con stantly." Matrons at the Marie Dawes hotel said Jeanette and Catherine met each other at the hotel two years ago and were constant associates. Catherine, it was said, left the home and went to Chattanooga, Tenn., re turning to Chicago last November, and had been stopping at the Eleanor club. Since that time, Catherine has shunned Jeanette. Matrons said Jeanette has sent silk hosiery, candy and large bouquets of beautiful flowers to Catherine for the last several months. Jeanette- was arraigned in court a week ago on complaint of Catherine, following the receipt of the letter in which the bullet was enclosed. On promise not to bother Catherine any more, Jeanette was released. WALKED HOME TO DIE. Contra lia Grain Dealer Suicide Follow ing Business Reverses. Centralia, Kan., April 27. Elmer M.

White House DECREASE IN L D. MS Right Way Campaign Proves Success fee Express Company. A reduction of 88,406 in the number ot claims which were filed against the American Railway Express company for lost and damaged shipments was secured by the company in March, 1920, over the number in March 1919, thru the "Right "Way" campaign, a move started to persuade every em ploye of the company to do his or her work in the right way, and to see that the shippers use the service in the way which will bring them satisfaction. Particular attention has been paid to the proper packing and marking of packages received for transmission by the express company, and to the pro r per handling of such shipments after they have been accepted by the com pany, i The redaction in claims filed amounted to 49.7 per cent for the month, being brought down from 167, 815 in March, 1919, to 84,409 in March, 1920, for the entire company. The southwestern district, in which Topeka is located, was the district showing the greatest reduction. The claims filed in the district in 1919 numbered 30,991, and in 1919, to only 14,176, a reduction of 16,815 or 54.2 per cent. It looks as if 84,409 was a large number of claims in a single month," said E. E. Erayman, local manager for the company, "but it should be re membered that the company is the largest transportation company in the world, handling more than 25,090,000 shipments a month. You would be surprised to know how the shippers are co-operating with us in the matter of packing and marking." s The amount of money paid out in April, 1920, for claims, amounted to nearly 1, 500,000.
